Isragirl Presents : Got the facts on milk?, Film by Shira Lane ©

Five Cinemateques across Israel will host (starting May 15) the Eco Cinema Festival of 2008. If you happen to be in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa or Sderot in the south or Rosh Pina in the north, call the local cinematque and check out the list and hours for the festival’s screening and outdoor happenings. Unfortunately, the English translation of the festival’s web site is not yet accessible, so I’ll do my best and list the films participating in this wonderful celebration of Eco Friendly People (who are also movie friendly).

List of movies: The best of “Live Earth” film competition (Short films from USA 2007), “Garbage Country” (Israel 2008), “The Queen of Trees” (USA 2006), “The Struggle for Urban Space” (Spain 2007), “Addicted to Plastic” (Canada 2008), “Earth” (UK 2007), tribute to “Free Range Studios” – Animated Eco Films, “Les Animaux Amoureux” (Animals In Love, France 2008), “Got the Facts on Milk?” (USA 2007), “Waste=Food” (USA 2007), “Crude Impact” (USA 2006), “I Am an Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA” (USA 2006), “Garbage Warrior” (UK 2007), “Being Caibou” (Canada 2006″).

Some of the screenings will be followed by an audience-director dialog and some of them will include a discussion with environmental activists from Israel.

There will be at least one outdoor screening in HaYarkon park in Tel Aviv – as a part of an alternative “Lag BaOmer” celebration, the movie Les Animaux Amoureux, will be screened on a huge screen at “Rosh Tzippor” section of the park (May 22 @ 8pm). The Tel Aviv festival will also host an Organic Market on Saturday, May 24, 12noon-7pm, out side the Cinemateque. Other special events will take place in Jerusalem, Haifa and Rosh Pinna, so call the local cinemateque and get there…
